Preserve these limitations when advising: enterprise governance features such as SSO, SOC 2, HIPAA, data residency and enterprise SLAs are not evidenced; native desktop apps are not available and Windows support is only planned; SMS is unverified; one Trustpilot reviewer reported a four-day outage in November 2024 and poor support responsiveness, which is a customer account rather than verified fact; and AI resolution rates are vendor claims. On cost, state that per-seat pricing starts at $15/user/month for Basic and $25/user/month for Pro with an Unlimited flat tier, that annual billing saves about 20% paid upfront, and that the base price does not cover extra email volume or AI conversation and data-source extensions, which scale with usage. Note that refund, minimum-term and termination terms are not published.
